I don’t keep resolutions, so there is no point in starting them. That said, for 2018 I do have a little wishlist.
- HEALTH I really wish that my health would improve. The winter so far, even from September on has not been great. I have been completely and utterly wiped out. No energy, always needing to sit down, and naps. Well lets just say I love napping. I have pain in my arms, wrists, shoulders and most other joints, and from December on this has been stopping me sleep properly. Sometimes the pain comes on instantly once I touch the mouse when I sit at the laptop, sometimes its as soon as I start driving. Anyhow, whatever it is, I would just like it to go away please. I’ve also been plagued with flu/viral things so I am very slow getting back on my feet. So far the tests show this is all down to an under-active thyroid and I start the tablets tomorrow. So here’s hoping I shall be a new woman in a few months time.
- EXERCISE GOALS- This follows point number one. If I feel better I would like to do some excercise. Yoga, pilates, walking and getting on the bike. It may also follow that if I started a little excercise it might help point number one, but I’m so knackered I need a lie down just thinking about it.
- WRITING GOALS – I just want to get published. Is that too much to ask? Maybe that’s a little vague, so I shall break it down into manageable chunks. I shall endeavour to submit my novel Every Time I See you, ( a dual timeline historical romance set in Ireland and Cairo) to ten agents and see how I get on. I shall start writing book 2 in order to submit to the RNA New Writers Scheme in August 2018, and I shall write some short romantic stories set in Paris, from a variety of backgrounds and viewpoints, historical and contemporary, just because I like short stories.
So that’s how I hope 2018 will shape up for me, how about you?
A great wish list. I went mad on the goals last year and didn’t achieve and didn’t have the best year so writing goals are off the cards but I do intend on more quality time with the kids and friends. (Secretly I am hoping this will be the year writing wise!;)) Sorry about the health, I hope the tablets kick in quickly and the exercise is amazingly fun!)

Goals are good to write down so you can see where you want to get to, but resolutions, as in ‘I must …’ are counterproductive most of the time.
